- âNavy Blueâ – Charlotte Lawrence
-
If Charlotte Lawrence hasnât made it on your radar yet, then youâre missing out. The 19-year old singer-songwriter and model has been releasing music since she was 13 and has collaborated with artists like Kaskade, Yungblud, JP Saxe, Nina Nesbitt and Sasha Sloan. âNavy Blueâ was produced by Charlie Puth, who she has also been dating since earlier this year. Writing about the song on Instagram, Lawrence said, âThis song is so important to me, one of those âturn your pain into artâ type of moments.â
- âYou Are Losing Meâ – Chelsea Cutler
-
Chelsea Cutler has been one to watch this year. Ever since releasing brent with frequent collaborator Jeremy Zucker and making appearances on tracks with Kygo and Quinn XCII, the 22-year old from Connecticut is gearing up for an album release of her own. She recently released âHow to Be Humanâ and this week gave us âYou Are Losing Me.â On the day she released the song, Cutler tweeted about feeling uninspired and credited this song as being âa good first stepâ towards falling back in love with music.
- âFadoâ – Milky Chance
-
If you thought Milky Chance was a one-hit wonder, you would be wrong and youâre missing out. Ever since âStolen Danceâ took over the U.S. charts, the German music duo who met in high school has been putting out hit after hit and are set to release their next album, Mind the Moon, on November 15th. âFadoâ is the third single theyâve released in anticipation of the upcoming album release, continuing to prove that the group is only capable of putting out certified bops. The word âfadoâ means âfateâ in Portugeuse and refers to a musical genre characterized by its melancholic and mournful music, similar to the type of music Milky Chance tends to make. However sad the songâs lyrics may be, the infectious beat is reminiscent of a club banger and you wonât be able to stop your feet from tapping along.
- âWild Girlâ – Kito, Empress Of
-
This collaboration between Australian DJ and music producer Kito and first-generation Honduran-American singer-songwriter Empress Of only makes you want to dance. This love song is upbeat and hard to get out of your head, perfect for the solo dance parties you have in your bedroom. Currently, you can see Empress Of is on tour with Maggie Rogers and keep an eye out for more from Kito; sheâs signed to Diploâs label, Mad Decent, and she only getting started.
- âRushing Backâ – Flume, Vera Blue
-
Flume and Vera Blue already performed this song earlier this year at Lollapalooza and the Osheaga Festival, but now itâs out on streaming platforms and for purchase for the rest of us who werenât lucky enough to be there. Flumeâs had a busy year and shows no sign of slowing down, announcing an 11-stop European tour for October and November. This is the second collaboration for him and Vera Blue, and they prove to be the perfect duo with Blueâs impressive âvocal gymnasticsâ providing the heart of the song.
- âSomething Has to Changeâ – The Japanese House
-
Amber Bain is back, announcing her next EP, Something Has to Change, and releasing the titular song this week. Bain already released Good At Falling earlier this year and it seems like sheâs only got more and more on the way. Written about feeling stuck in a routine and doing the same things over and over, the song is a drowsy pop anthem dedicated to making moves and change in your life.
- âSmart Loveâ – Drax Project
-
The New Zealand-based boy band Drax Project released their debut, self-titled album this week, featuring their hit collaboration with Hailee Steinfeld, âWoke Up Late.â However much of a bop that song is, the rest of their album is just as good, âSmart Loveâ is another song of note off the album. This chill, laidback pop song is dedicated to learning from past mistakes to cultivate healthy relationships. Singer and saxophonist Shaan Singh said that one of his favorite lyrics from the song is âSo stop your worrying / I think you think too much,â explaining that âit’s better to just to be in the moment and be present instead of worrying about what’s happened before and what might happen in the future.â
